BCBA cases in San Diego: FAQ

Do I need a car to take BCBA cases in San Diego?
Many ABA cases in San Diego County are in-home or school-based, so reliable transportation helps. ABAcases shows the location and approximate commute on every case up front, so you can filter by distance before you ever apply, no surprise drives across San Diego.
How much do BCBAs earn in San Diego, CA?
Payscale puts BCBA base pay in San Diego at about $82k/yr on average, with most between about $69k and $95k. Check the pay on each case before accepting.
How do I become a BCBA in California?
BCBA certification is national, through the BACB: a master's degree or higher, behavior-analytic coursework, supervised fieldwork (2,000 hours, or 1,500 if concentrated), then the BCBA exam. The requirements change on January 1, 2027, so confirm the current version on bacb.com. Your state's rules come on top of that. California has no state BCBA or RBT license, so agencies and funders look to your BACB certification. Its autism insurance law (Health and Safety Code 1374.73) calls the RBT role a paraprofessional, working under a qualified autism service provider.
How do I catch BCBA cases in San Diego?
Cases change day to day. Create a free profile, keep alerts on and check your email and messages.
What does "NPI verified" mean for me?
Every agency on ABAcases is checked against the federal NPI registry, the national list of licensed healthcare providers. So the agency behind a case is a real ABA provider, not an anonymous post.
Is ABAcases free for BCBAs?
Yes. Providers do not pay to browse, apply, get case alerts, or use the ABA timesheet & payment tracker. We charge agencies, not the people doing the work.
